If someone is interested…
I translated the first part of the interview: Gaspard Ulliel is the next star of French cinema. Handsome, charismatic and talented. After the debut with duo Bellucci – Cassel, prepare ourselves to celebrate one of the most promising players in the “nouvelle génération”.
The life in his hands
I’m at Fumoir, a cafe in Paris, on the opposite side in front of the Louvre, a friday evening, at the aperitif time, to meet Gaspard Ulliel. He arrives on a new Vespa, without gears, with a integral black crash helmet. Park on the sidewalk, and he nearly knock over a tourist. Elegant, with a double-breasted military jacket, maybe chashemere.
He is quarter-hour late and this is our second appointment. When it comes to me, I have a beer. “Excuse me” i said pointing the beer “I didn’t know when you would come”. “Excuse you too for the last time” he said. “You mean yesterday?” “Yes, yesterday, It slipped my mind. Were always you, right?”. The day before he stood me up because he was doing driving school.
Next week he’ll take driving test, and finally he going to buy the new motorbike, a Triumph Bonneville Thruxton, a kind of war motorcycle, like Steve McQueen’ one, more for aesthete than engine purist. Not for nothing Gaspard is son of stylist.
